| 1930 | Summer | | | Gustav SHanson found an osprey's nest near Deer River, on June 4th, which contained an undetermined number of eggs. |
| 1932 | Summer | | | 3 nests were located, all with young birds, the first at Deer River by Frank Zoubek in the last week of June, and the latest at Lake of the Woods by Gustav Swanson on August 26. Tho latter nest was in a live spruce, a very unusual focation for this bird, which generally nests in dead trees. |
| 1933 | Summer | | | But one nest of tho Fish Hawk was observed this year, and that by Risse:r at Sturgeon Lake. That worthy gentleman sallied fortht as was his wont, on June 30th and hied himself to tho nost, wondering how it had fnrod a storm of the previous night. We can visualize tho look of chagrin that crept over his cotmtonp.nco when arriving at the spot, he found two broken eggs on the ground. While it would probably not prove especially bcnoficia.1 to tho owners, the ability nf conjuring up a. storm of sufficient intensity would seam to be a vory convenient moans of ascertaining the contents of ordinarily inaccessible eryies. |
| 1934 | Summer | | | The first nest of this species w~s reported by H;i.cmonz, vrho found it on June 9th near Cross Lake. Three eggs nestled in its lofty bosom. Morse and Feeney found the last nest at Ita.sca Park on July 31st, when it held "one, :perhaps more, nearly full-gro"Ym young. 11 |
